Hi all,

Static (my male Jungle carpet python) had a great shed last night, and after each shed he is weighed and measured.

I wanted to share the info with you, and get feed back on whether it looks normal and healthy, he is currently being fed 1 small rat every 7 days.

His growth in length seems pretty steady and consistent, but he is really gaining a lot of weight, is that normal?

Here's the info:

I would say its fine. If you continue to notice him putting on weight and not length cut back to feeding every 10-14 days. All snakes grow/shed differently just keep an eye on him.

Seems bout right with the shed intervals and weight gain, I tend to aim for 5-7 weeks in between sheds and yours are about that.
